a. Find the linear function \(C=f(F)\) that gives the reading on the Celsius temperature scale corresponding to a reading on the Fahrenheit scale. Use the facts that \(C=0\) when \(F=32\) (freezing point) and \(C=100\) when \(F=212\) (boiling point). b. At what temperature are the Celsius and Fahrenheit readings equal?
Graphing sine and cosine functions Beginning with the graphs of \(y=\sin x\) or \(y=\cos x,\) use shifting and scaling transformations to sketch the graph of the following functions. Use a graphing utility to check your work. $$p(x)=3 \sin (2 x-\pi / 3)+1$$
Pole in a corner A pole of length \(L\) is carried horizontally around a corner where a 3 -ft-wide hallway meets a 4 -ft-wide hallway. For \(0<\theta<\pi / 2,\) find the relationship between \(L\) and \(\theta\) at the moment when the pole simultaneously touches both walls and the corner \(P .\) Estimate \(\theta\) when \(L=10 \mathrm{ft}.\)
Right-triangle relationships Draw a right triangle to simplify the given expressions. Assume \(x>0.\) $$\sin ^{-1}(\cos \theta), \text { for } 0 \leq \theta \leq \pi / 2$$
Assume that \(b>0\) and \(b \neq 1 .\) Show that \(\log _{1 / b} x=-\log _{b} x\)
